How do I save music from iPod???

If i have to restore my iPod and i want to save all the music on it... how do i save that music so that i can restore it and then put my music back on to it???

Put it back in iTunes, there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

There is also a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
You should also consider making a proper back up of all your music from your computer. Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes

    Hello Mama1936
    You can transfer any purchased content that is on that iPod by first turning off automatic syncing when a device is plugged. Check out the first or second article depending on the type of computer you have. Once that is done, then you can plug in your iPod and then transfer any purchased content that is on the iPod.

  • How do I transfer music from iPod to iPod

    How do I transfer music from iPod to iPod and I don't have windows on my MAC. I don't want to have to load everything again onto the new ipod.

    You can't transfer directly from iPod to iPod.
    But it's easy if you are using the sync setting to put music on your first iPod. You just connect the second iPod to your Mac and sync it to your iTunes library, like you did with the first one.
    If you are using the +manually manage music+ setting AND the music on the first iPod is NOT in your iTunes library (only on the iPod), then it is not so easy. You need to use a third party utility first, such as Senuti or YamiPod

    to transfer your music files from the first iPod to the iMac. Put the music into your iTunes library. Sync the second iPod to the iTunes library (or transfer manually if you don't want to use sync for some reason).

  • How do you download music from  Ipod Classic to computer?

    How do you download music from ipod classic to computer

    If your music collection was purchased from iTunes, you are in a good shape since that music is forever yours under your iTunes account. Therefore, after installing iTunes on your new computer, sign into your account and see all your music under "Purchsed". Then simply download it to be phisically present onto your computer (for free since you've already paid for it).
    On the other hand if you happens to not be a sucker to waist money on iTunes and your collection was ripped from the internet (via torrents and such), you need some third party software to copy iPod music, here is a guide about how to transfer music from iPod classic to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

    how do you transfer music from ipod to library

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    As all of the music came from your computer in the first place, it should still be there and it should be included in your regular backup of your computer.

    You've posted to the iTunes Match forum which your question is not related to. However, these User Tips will help you:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
    For the future, keep in mind that an iPod is not a backup/storage device. It is designed to be strictly a playback device. It is up to you to backup your personal data, including music, to a local, external HDD.
